   Oil shale extraction

   The Fischer Assay is a standardized laboratory test used to measure the grade of an oil shale sample. ... Extensive water use and the risk of groundwater pollution are the technology's greatest challenges.
2. close

   Qiagen

   Qiagen’s shares are listed at the technology-focused US stock exchange Nasdaq (using ticker QGEN) and at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the Prime Standard (using ticker QIA). ... In the molecular diagnostics market, Qiagen’s assay technologies are used in hospitals and medical laboratories to quickly and reliably identify diseases or infections based on their genetic footprints and to develop adequate therapies.
3. close

   Strategic Defense Initiative

   According to the BMDO, the research on neutral particle beam accelerators, which was originally funded by the SDIO, could eventually be used to reduce the half-life of nuclear waste products using accelerator-driven transmutation technology.
4. close

   Software-defined radio

   Unlike direct conversion receivers of the more distant past, the mixer technology used in the FLEX-5000 are based on the quadrature sampling detector and the quadrature sampling exciter. ... Using model-driven engineering, domain-specific languages, and software product lines in developing Software-Defined Radio components and applications
5. close

   Technology

   The word "technology" can also be used to refer to a collection of techniques. ... With this increase in population and availability of labor came an increase in labor specialization.
6. close

   Multiplex (assay)

   Multiplex assays within a given application area or class of technology can be further stratified based on how many assays can be performed at a time, where "multiplex" refers to those with the highest number of parallel assays (up to millions) and "low-plex" or "mid-plex" refers to procedures that process fewer (10s to 1000s), though there are no formal guidelines for calling a procedure multi-, mid-, or low-plex based on number of assays performed. ... Multiplex assays are often used in high-throughput screening settings, where many specimens can be analyzed using a multiplex (or other) assay.
7. close

   Chemotaxis assay

   For detection of cells general staining techniques (e.g. trypan blue) or special probes (e.g. mt-dehydrogenase detection with MTT assay) are used. ... Micro-video-recording technology

   Start-stop system

   One of the earliest vehicles to use this technology was the Volkswagen Polo Formel E model of the 1980s. Volkswagen also tried it in the Golf Ecomatic and in the Lupo 3L in the 1990s, though those early implementations were considered rather disconcerting by many drivers.

   SNP genotyping

   The primer extension method is used in a number of assay formats. ... Broadly referred to as arrayed primer extension (APEX), this technology has several benefits over methods based on differential hybridization of probes.
10. close

    Breathalyzer

    However, new machines like the Draeger Breathalyzer use technology that filters out substances like acetone. ... The photovoltaic assay, used only in the dated Intoximeter 3000, is a form of breath testing rarely encountered today.
